Truths and Revelations

Hermione moved away from Harry’s arms the moment her racing pulse slowed down, she stepped away but Harry followed her and by the moment she was turning around as to try and avoid him by moving to the opposite direction he had trapped her between the wall and his own body.

They remained like that, bodies inches apart, gazes locked with each other, one’s exhale becoming the other’s inhale, Hermione looked in the bright green eyes she was so familiar with and for a moment the hope of their child inheriting those eyes popped in her mind, she tried to avoid the tingling feeling at the mental image of a baby girl with Harry’s eyes or a baby boy with his features. She looked away, breaking their gazes and taking a deep breath, calming down her once again racing heart.

Harry watched her intensely, how she breathed in and out, how her eyes narrowed slightly for a few seconds before she broke their eye contact, he loved her eyes, so expressive and warm, the tinniest of smiles crossed his face as he imagined little ones with those eyes, those beautiful, warm eyes of their mother. Harry reached with his hands and framed Hermione’s face, making her look at him, they needed to talk, the child inside Hermione’s womb was something very important to both of them and right now it was causing chaos in their lives, they needed to set some priorities but first, they needed to admit the truth as to get together, separated they were to break, there was no way of surviving this, together, they had a chance.

‘You’re damaging me,’ Hermione almost moaned and she didn’t referred only on her racing heart, her soul was in pain, true, actual pain because of all this situation, for years she had been trying to hold her heartache back, trying to use compromises as to forget her love for him, two months ago that wound in her soul had been opened wider than ever and now, two months after, she realized that it was going only to grow even more.

‘Like you do me, Hermione,’ Harry said quietly, wanting to show her they shared the pain ‘Is it mine?... I need you to tell me, Mione,’ Harry whispered and Hermione could see the pain in his voice, the need, she knew even if she didn’t want to, she had to tell him, he had the right to know, for a moment she thought of lying, of saying no, but what the use? He knew her so darn well, just like she knew him, he would catch her lying, he would press more and she would finally either hurt or upset him, plus, she couldn’t gather her mind as to even try to lie properly with him so close to her, his hands framing her face were fogging her mind. Hermione finally broke and a sob ripped through her lips, she couldn’t handle the pressure anymore, she couldn’t lie and she didn’t want to say the truth but with Harry, it was always the hard way, he was the only person she had left and at the same time, the person that made her hurt the most.

‘Yes!’ she almost screamed, ’Yes, Harry, it’s yours, who else’s could it be?’ She spitted not being able to hold back, ‘Are you satisfied now? You’re gonna be a father! What that changes? Nothing!’ she screamed her last words, wanting to wipe that calm expression off his face, wanting to hurt him the way she hurt, she needed him to realize the banes they had inflicted on everyone, on their child, for heaven’s sake who was to be brought in a world full of people who were about to hate its parents.

Hermione didn’t have the chance to keep shouting as Harry’s lips crashed against hers, stealing her breath, her soul away, after a moment of shock she responded, she couldn’t decline his kiss, his display of love and affection, she had missed his kisses ever since that night, she had dreamed about them but she needed them so very much, she put her all desperation and all her need, all her passion and all her love in that kiss unwittingly, hers and Harry’s passion was released two months ago and it had come to a point of not getting under control, they had unleashed the beast from the cage and a furious beast it was, after so many years of being suppressed and tamed.

When they broke their kiss, Harry’s smile couldn’t be stopped; he smiled widely as he pressed his forehead against Hermione’s, their noses touching, their lips itching to be collided again.

‘It changes everything, Mione, everything,’ Harry whispered against her lips and Hermione sighed, he wanted her to believe in him, to trust him, having her saying with actual words that the child was his wasn’t just a way of confirming the obvious, it was the only way for them to realize what they had to do in order to be together despite everyone. ‘Everything will change from right that moment,’ Harry said and Hermione moved slightly away.

‘Harry…’ Hermione started but Harry’s fingers on her lips stopped her.

‘Do you trust me? Harry only asked and Hermione looked deep in his eyes, of course she did, with her heart and soul.

‘With my soul,’ Hermione responded and Harry smiled and gave her another kiss, this time a sweet peck on her lips.

‘Let me clear things up, starting from right now, stay here and try to relax, please, the last thing I need is to have you hurt.’ Harry said and Hermione tried to smile and nodded her head, she knew she couldn’t step back now, the banes were about to start breaking loose.

‘OK,’ Hermione only whispered and Harry gave her another kiss on the lips, happy to have found a way to begin with dealing with his problems. ‘If you don’t want to stay here, you can gather your stuff and I will move them in my house,’ Harry said and Hermione looked at him worried for a moment.

She knew things would get serious now, she knew this house was at least depressing for her to stay in and she was glad Harry wasn’t living under the same roof with Ginny, his house was so familiar and cozy for her –as she was the one who helped to decorate it when they had graduated from Hogwarts and Ginny was repeating her sixth year after the Ministry’s commands after the war-, she now was almost relieved to go to Harry’s house, they were going to have a child after all, they needed to get things straight and right.

‘Don’t even think of becoming a burden,’ Harry said and stopped her upcoming constricting thoughts that were ready to pop in her head as she tried to think of everything before deciding, she finally sighed and after a last glance around the house she had fought with Ron to rent in the Muggle side of London, she nodded her head.

‘OK, fine, I guess I can gather my stuff.’ Hermione said and Harry smiled again and nodded his head, now it was his part to move to the next step, Hermione had already accepted a lot of things, including moving in his place so now it was time for him, he hoped that the sooner he’d clear things up with Ginny, the best it’d be.

‘I will go and find Ginny, OK?’ Harry said hesitantly this time and Hermione’s features were full of worry in an instant, she was scared of things moving so fast, she hated to know what was to happen to Ginny.

‘Will you tell her the truth?’ Hermione asked and tried to gulp down the lump in her throat. Harry sighed but shook his head.

‘If Ron reacted as I can imagine, no, it won’t be any help right now, we owe them the truth but I can only assure you that I will break up with her for now,’ Harry said and Hermione took a deep breath and nodded her head, not being sure if she was happy with all this.

‘Fine,’ she only said and Harry nodded his head as well, they didn’t have the best plans but at least they had some.

Ginny Weasley was starring out of her window, her brown eyes glued on the darkened sky, her heart heavy, her mind racing. She knew they’d come to that end, she knew they’d be torn apart sooner or later.

When she ran after Ron, with Luna by her side, she knew something awful was happening, Ron, who had proposed a couple of months back wouldn’t have reacted like this in the news of a child of his and Hermione’s so it wasn’t hard for Ginny to figure out what was on, the moment Ron was rushing away from the hospital.

Hermione had cheated, Hermione, her friend, had cheated on her brother. Ginny couldn’t believe it, but as Ron had screamed, she had indeed and now a child of another man was growing inside Hermione’s body, a child that had nothing to do with Ron or the family for that matter.

Ginny wiped away the tear that escaped her eye, she didn’t want to break, she hoped for Harry to be there with her right now, they might weren’t in the best times of their relationship, for the half year or so but still, he was her boyfriend and she needed him. She hoped for him to be there, to help, she wondered why he hadn’t showed up yet, it had been hours ever since he and Ron had showed up in the hospital and he hadn’t checked on Ron all this while, or on her, for that matter.

He stayed by Hermione’s side, of course. A voice whispered in her head and she felt a shiver ran down her spine, he always took her side, no matter what; he always put Hermione above everyone and everything. Many times, Ginny felt uncomfortable because of Hermione and Harry’s bounding, the way they communicated with no words, the way they understood each other, the way Hermione would take Harry’s hand and he would smile at her as they’d seen something Muggle-made, familiar to them. Ginny many times felt jealous and left out from the small world of Harry and Hermione’s.

Ginny sighed as her mind kept on tormenting her, for a moment, she wondered why Harry didn’t end up with Hermione after all, they were good together, Ginny knew about siblings’ love, she had that love with all her brothers and she couldn’t tag what was on with Harry and Hermione as “brotherly” love, she was no way like Ron or the rest of her brothers.

Ginny knew Harry and Hermione were attracted to each other, she could see it, in Hermione’s eyes, in Harry’s actions, in the sadness that had overtook them over the last months.

The last months. Ginny thought and for a moment her stomach dropped, could they had done something like that to her and Ron? No! She couldn’t believe it, Harry and Hermione were the closest people to her and Ron, but yet, Hermione was pregnant with someone else’s baby and Harry was nowhere to be seen so far.

Ginny’s head jerked as she heard the sound of apparition and Harry was standing in her bedroom, a moment later. She smiled relieved at him, almost guilty as she tried to push those thoughts from her mind, she ran and hugged him tightly but she could feel his hands being almost cold as he wrapped loosely his arms around her in response.

‘We need to talk,’ Harry said and Ginny felt her heart sinking, she could almost see the omens, now loud and clear.

‘OK,’ she said through clenched teeth, what Harry wanted to say was to make her mind on what was happening for so long under her nose. ‘I’m listening,’ she added as calmed as she could even if her heart was racing, her mind numb in fear of the betrayal.

‘I want us to break up,’ Harry said and Ginny shut her eyes for a moment, it all clicked inside her mind, it was so obvious that it had been invisible in her eyes for so long, of course, they were always like that, one, of course it would happen one day, it was like having a action when they met, years ago and now it was time for the reaction, it was bound to happen. Ginny could feel her shut eyes filling with tears; she opened them to see Harry worried and frowned but the things that broke her heart was the guilt that painted his features with bright colors, guilt not for their break up but for her epiphany, for the truth that hurt her so much.

‘It’s you, isn’t it?’ Ginny whispered through her teeth and she wished her voice wouldn’t be that weak, that obvious. When Harry looked at her shocked but didn’t answer her question but bowed his head, Ginny couldn’t stop herself, she was losing her mind and she needed to vent. She didn’t actually remember when her hand flew and collided with Harry’s cheek with such force that made his head turn on the side, she couldn’t remember when she started screaming her pain, her friends’ betrayal hurt so much, her boyfriend’s betrayal hurt even more. ‘I hate you!’ she could hear her voice screaming as she had lunched on Harry and was trying to hit his chest with her fists, his larger and stronger arms holding her smaller ones after the first few blows. When her mind functioned properly again, she found herself on her knees, still crying, Harry was right there, still holding her. She jerked away from his arms and glared at him.

‘Leave, now and never come back,’ she said in an empty voice and Harry nodded his head and left with a crack, Ginny still couldn’t believe it, how was she supposed to move on now? It was all so new to her even if things were at miss for so long now, she hated herself for being so oblivious, she hated Hermione for being first at one more thing, considering Harry, she hated Harry for finally seeing what many people had seen ever since he was a teenager. She hated herself for having to cast so much pain by telling her family the truth about Harry and Hermione and what they had done to everyone, she hated herself for hurting Ron as she was about to reveal everything to him in less than a few minutes, she hated herself for thinking that she could make it and win Harry over his other half, Hermione.

When Harry was back in Hermione and Ron’s flat; he took a deep breath, he couldn’t believe Ginny had figured everything out, he through it’d be easier, he hoped for it to be easier but Ginny somehow knew about him and Hermione and even about the baby. Beneath his guilt and the feeling of how bad of a person he was, Harry was kind of relieved as well, Ginny was to talk to the rest for sure, soon everyone would know and even sooner someone would try and find them, wanting to know if Ginny spoke the truth. Harry felt a knot in his stomach at the idea of Ron coming, seeking the whole truth but still, Harry needed to clear everything up, for his sake, for Hermione’s sake, for the little one’s sake, Harry smiled sadly at the idea of the “little one”.

‘I’m ready,’ Harry heard Hermione’s voice and turned around to see Hermione smiling uneasy as she held in the palm of her hand some shrink boxes with her stuff, Harry smiled at her and approached, taking the little boxes. ‘How was it?’ Hermione asked the question Harry was afraid to answer; he sighed and looked at her as he spoke.

‘She had figured things out, and well let’s say that she kind of exploded…’ Harry said and Hermione gasped and closed her eyes, leaning close to him, Harry hugged Hermione closer, her hands wrapped around him and his own arms wrapped around her body, holding her close as he needed her so much.

While Harry was gone, Hermione had made her mind, it was time for them to be happy, she loved him and he loved her, and both of them wanted the little one that was to come, they had saved the entire community from Voldemort and yes, they were going to hurt people but they deserved to have the chance to choose for themselves and this was the first decision they were to make on their own.

Hermione had decided to stick with Harry, like he was willing to do with her, after all she couldn’t fool herself anymore, they needed each other, it wasn’t just lust, passion or even the baby that they shared, it was the years of trust and love and care and need, it was their deep friendship, the level of communication and care and trust only few people achieve in life that bound the pair of them, they were like one, a long time ago, it was what saved them during those months back in that tent when like one, they were using Hermione’s wand, it was when the two of them visited Harry’s parents for the first time, moments like those couldn’t be experienced by anyone else, moments like these were unique and remembered only by the ones who were there, them.

‘Don’t worry, we’ll go to my place and we’ll try to find Ron, we’ll try to explain him, we owe him that,’ Harry said, pulling Hermione out of her thoughts, she hugged Harry closer and nodded her head.

‘I’m scared,’ Hermione whispered and felt Harry’s lips kissing the top of her head.

‘Don’t, we’ve been through worse, and we made it,’ Harry said and rubbed his hand up and down Hermione’s back. ‘I don’t have the strength to stay away from you anymore, Hermione and don’t deny it, neither do you,’ Harry whispered and Hermione sighed at the truth of his words.

They were not sure for how long they stood there, lost and protected into each other’s arms; they separated however when the sound of apparition was heard inside the flat and soon the couple was facing a furious Molly Weasley who was glaring at the two of them. Harry for a moment realized how frightening Molly could be, remembering her face in that state only when she was fighting with Bellatrix Lestrange back in the Hogwarts Battle.

‘Is it true? What Ginny said about you Harry, and Hermione’s child? Ron already told me about the pregnancy so just answer me the question of who is the father.’ Molly clarified and both Harry and Hermione bowed their heads, not being able to look at Molly’s eyes, a mother figure for the both of them for so many years now.

‘You two,’ she said through her teeth and Harry almost covered Hermione with his body, worried for what Molly could do upon her Weasley temper, the usually happy and kind woman seemed furious now. ‘You two, that I considered part of my family, for so many years, now betrayed my children,’ she said and her words hurt them both more than any spell she could use against them. ‘Why? You, Hermione, were supposed to be with Ron, you were supposed to be happy and you Harry, you were supposed to be with Ginny, you were supposed to be parts of the Weasley family officially; you were to be like us. What happened? Why you broke my children’s hearts? How could you do that?’ Molly said as angry tears ran down her cheek with each word she spoke.

‘Molly, we…’ Harry started but was interrupted.

‘What Harry? What are you going to say? That you don’t choose with whom you fell in love? No you don’t, but you protect the rest, you don’t have children with your best friend’s girlfriend, your own best friend, what am I supposed to do with two heartbroken and betrayed children? How could you do this to them? You were supposed to be part of the family.’ Molly said and both Harry and Hermione knew she was right on her part, she might had a very specific idea of the future in her mind and that wasn’t pleasant at all but she had indeed two broken children back at the Burrow and it was all their fault.

‘You tore my family apart, you two, you’re not welcome at the Burrow anymore, don’t try to find Ron or Ginny, don’t cause more pain.’ Molly finally said and this time her command didn’t let space for argument or negotiation. She left with a loud crack and the next thing that Harry knew was Hermione collapsing in his arms and bursting in tears, both her hormones and desperation taking over.

‘Ssssh,’ Harry whispered as he kept her in his arms, desperation was suffocating him already; he hated to know he hurt so many people, but what could he do? He and Hermione were to break up with Ginny and Ron respectively sooner or later, it happened with the worst way possible indeed but it was bound to happen and Harry, even if he felt selfish, didn’t regret the existence of the little one in Hermione’s body. That thought made him hug Hermione even tighter.

‘Calm down, Mione, please, think of the little one in there.’ Harry pleaded and felt Hermione nodding her head and trying to breath in gasps. He guided her in his car and when she got inside he kicked off for his own house, they didn’t speak for a long time as they tried to process everything in their heads but after awhile, Harry felt Hermione’s hand squeezing his, he turned and looked at her for a moment as they waited for the traffic lights to turn green for them to keep up.

‘I meant it, those weeks ago,’ Hermione started and Harry looked at her carefully. ‘I love you, no matter what…’ she only said, knowing he understood, she just needed to remind him of her feelings, they were going to need each other’s support if this was their first day as a couple, she couldn’t imagine what it was to follow. She kept looking at him as he stared in her eyes, those green orbs full of emotions as love, care, need, passion, devotion, faith, fear and happiness because of what they had been put in.

‘I love you too, the two of you are my life now,’ Harry said after those moments of silent communication as he brought their joined hands close to his lips and kissed her knuckles, they didn’t need to say anything more for the rest of the drive in Harry’s place.
